  19. Abused by instructor---what to do?

    timewood replied to timewood's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with the comment about teaching as well. One of my professors will not be coming back next year because the cut in pay has been a personal hardship that she can no longer manage. I am...

  25. Nurse Mobbing/bullying

    timewood replied to LuciGirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that this is the case with some nurses who bully--yes, absolutely. You are trained up in the way of the caretaker so much so that it is not what you do -but sadly, all you are. When a child...
